As the third-generation king of world football, Messi has also earned the adoration and respect of fans. However, it is undeniable that Messi has indeed entered the twilight of his career, and everyone understands that Messi's final peak should be coming to an end. Therefore, whether Messi can return to Barcelona before retiring is something many fans are looking forward to.
Now it seems that Messi does indeed have a good chance to return to Barcelona, as he has always been fond of Barcelona and hopes to complete his retirement there in the final moments of his career. Especially if Messi renews his contract with Inter Miami, he will indeed have the opportunity to join Barcelona. After the start of the offseason in the MLS, Messi can completely return to Barcelona on loan.
Knowing that Barcelona's financial situation is not good, Messi is willing to lower his salary. This allows Barcelona to sign him back more easily, and then Messi can fully compete with Barcelona for the Champions League and La Liga titles. This return will also benefit Messi in maintaining his competitive form. Then Messi can prepare for the upcoming 2026 World Cup, and there is another key reason for Messi's return to Barcelona.
That is, Laporta previously promised that Barcelona would hold a grand retirement ceremony for Messi, allowing him to bid a perfect farewell to the Barcelona fans at that time. However, the loyalty of the king is also commendable by the fans, as he also hopes to welcome a perfect ending in Barcelona. If he can win some championships along the way, it would be even better, and the talented players within Barcelona can also learn from and improve themselves under Messi.
